    Tomorrow I am picking up a frag or two from a guy off of craigslist.

    Out of his frags im interested in his deep red acan frags and a lobo frag... I know a lot about acan care, but I have never had a lobo... does anyone want to lend some info on lobos?

    Sorry, this might be a little late, but I have a very large lobo - moderate light, moderate flow and can be spot fed. Very similar to acans.

    Any color can be nice, what do YOU like? :)

    If you want to get an idea for what's out there I would browse some online websites, worldwidecorals, pacificeastaquaculture, liveaquaria, cherrycorals etc.

    I have a solid red one, it's nice but I don't think it's a rare color. Trachs are generally more colorful. A very rare color is a light bluish/grey outside with a pink inside. Two tones are rarer too.
